Go Metro Weekends, July 30-August 1

Welcome to the weekend – the perfect opportunity to Go Metro. Why? Because of all the Metro accessible events, like the X-Games, free concerts just off the Gold Line, a neighborhood fair in Los Feliz and a collective jam (the kind you put on toast) making session at LACMA.

Have an event you’d like us to include? Shoot us an email at thesource@metro.net. Time and space constraints limit us from listing every accessible event in this city, but this curated list represents what we think is cool and easy to get to.
